Fungal Pneumonia Treatment

Some fungal lung infections (e.g. Histoplasmosis) are usually a mild illness and resolve on their own. Treatment for severe fungal lung infection, or an infection in a person with a poorly functioning immune system, requires the use of antifungal medications. The selection of antifungal medication depends on the species of the infecting organism. Surgery is less commonly required, but may be necessary to treat a lung abscess.
